Suji Kakra Pitha

Kakra Pitha is a very famous Oriya dish prepared during festivals and is also offered to Lord Jaganath. It can be prepared plain or stuffed, with Wheat flour or Suji ( Semolina). Its completely up to you. I like the stuffed ones for special occasions but the plain ones are a real good idea for nice and easy weekend breakfast with your family.

Ingredients:


  1. Suji : 1 1/2 cup
  2. Water: 1 cup
  3. Sugar: 1/2cup
  4. Salt: a pinch
  5. Oil : for deep frying and rolling 


Procedure:

In a deep bottom pan bring the water to a boil.
Add salt and sugar to the water give it a stir and slowly add the Suji mixing continuously to avoid any lumps.
As the Suji soaks all the water turn of the heat cover the pot and let it rest for 4-5mins.
 Once the dough cools down to room temperature knead it into a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll it into a 5" round bread.
With a cookie cutter or mouth of a glass cut small kakra's out of the rolled dough.



Make kakra's out of each portion of dough similarly. With the left over dough make another ball and follow the same steps till no more dough it left.
Fry these kakras in hot oil till they are golden on both sides. They should swell up like Puri and should be soft to eat.




Enjoy these with Dalma or Aloo Jhatpat or with any other vegetable dish.


I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.


Till then Happy Blogging
